  1. Start with a low dose. If you are already used to weed you will have no problems. Eat some dark chocolate while taking it - it releases serotonin and will make it less of a chance to have a bad trip. Also don't take it when you are feeling down. Psychedelics will make every feeling you have more intense - so this is a no-brainer. I also once thought I would die from weed (couldn't move and had to throw up). But it was still not a bad trip. I just accepted everything happening. When you accept what is happening - there is no resistance. Bad trips for me are always linked to the ego resisting it's annihilation. When the ego is clinging too much the psychedelics will unleash their full power on it. When you just let go there is nothing for the psychedelics to push against. Although having a "bad trip" is nothing to be afraid of. Maybe this is exactly what you need right now.
  2. I would be careful linking conspiracy theories to this stuff. What I've found with QAnon is that people who want to be seen as smart and special fall into it. Which includes all kinds of personalities. Seems like these people also desire control very much. Add in the growing distrust in TV Media and you got yourself a cool cocktail - enjoyed by people of all ages and backgrounds.
  3. If you don't want to drink 1/2 cup, you could try dark chocolate. It has caffeine and other brain stimulating ingredients, works wonders for me. One 3.5-ounce bar of dark chocolate (70-85%) will have around the same amount as one cup of coffee.
  4. That can (and will) happen in every country. As long as you guys keep on talking and flirting you are golden. Specific things to seem less of a threat: Show your hands and that they are empty Smile No fast movements Keep a normal distance While you want to have long eye contact because you are flirting, don't stare at her Also you can talk about how she seems nervous and how you feel.
  5. The profession doesn't directly tell you their purpose. It's all about why they do it. Someone can be helping children in Africa but if they do it mainly to get validation from their friends they will not be happy. It's low quality consciousness. On the other hand, someone playing basketball in the NBA might be doing it to inspire others and use his fame to share deep insights with the world. That would be high quality consciousness. Also you can not judge a book by its cover. These people you mention may not be 100% fulfilled by their career. But maybe they value other things in life more. For example family. Your purpose could be being a great father and having a loving family. Or wisdom, your purpose could be to read a lot of books and do deep inquiry into different fields. Those can be very fulfilling and someone having a low quality conscious career can still bring big amounts of value into this world in their private life. Basically, it's not all black and white. And to see from the outside what is going on inside someone is very difficult. See for example all these movie stars that seem to be happy outside but battle with depression and with suicidal thoughts. Some video suggestions for further understanding Low Quality vs High Quality Consciousness Successful People Are Not Happy Understanding Meaning, Purpose, & Value
  6. Did she say anything? How bad did she beat you up? Whats your relationship with her? If you want good advice write down as much information as possible. We were not there with you, nor do we know any of you. So we can only go by what you write here.
  7. Can you pinpoint the issue more precisely. I don't really get it. Are you living alone with him or are there others in the flat with you? Of course if you don't feel good in your own home you should move out. On the other hand, your next roommate might be the opposite and be very indirect, which can lead to passive-aggressive behaviour. I'd much prefer the direct guy over the other haha. Best way you find someone cool but that is not easy depending on the appartment market in your area.
  8. Eh you can find 15 year olds that have less superficial interests than your 20 year old friends. Also be aware of the ego trap in spiritual work. You are not better than others because you are more aware. You are not separate. Learn to master your emotions. Be aware of fragmentation happening, this is the ego at work. Next, many people that are into spirituality early on, you may find have some deep wounds to heal. There is nothing wrong with that. Just see where these people might be stuck. You'll want to integrate all stages. For example are you already financialy independent, or have plans on how to do it? Lastly, having fun and being good at socializing will help you in so many ways. Allow some time in your life where you can be light hearted and not serious. ❤️
  9. Desire does not create need. Fear does. Resistance to the present moment. When you are needy and in your head - you try to force thing. Force is trying to push something, it needs a lot of energy. When you feel acceptance and in abundance you have power. You can just be. Power doesn't require anything as it's already complete. It doesn't force, it let's things arise. See David Hawkins
  10. The last one will be mined in 2140, then there will not be any new bitcoins (if the protocol doesn't change that). It doesn't matter though because most of the 21 million bitcoins are already mined. You can look up who owns the most BC but it's not linked to a name, just a #. It's anonymous. What would happen if a country would own most of the gold? It doesn't give them control over the gold, just leverage for playing the market. Like big banks or hedge funds have today. I've never heard that theory and it seems highly unlikely. And if you fall under the 99,999% of people not browsing the dark web it won't effect you. They (big institutions, companies etc.) already have most of your data anyways I guess. Of course it's new and maybe sounds sketchy but Bitcoin was build with trust in mind. And that is what it offers: being as close to verifiable digital gold as it can. The question is if it will be accepted by society at large.
  11. I think the seeking of unification is deeply programmed into us. Uncovering that there is nowhere to go is part of the way we all need to go. Otherwise there would be nothing to awaken to. So it's kinda nice. Moved the thread to the "Meditation, Consciousness, Enlightenment, Spirituality" discussion board as it fits better here.
  12. You don't need to know about it, you can just hire someone to do it for you. Also depending on the kind of your business and how much your customers love it, marketing might not be so important.
  13. Right on. If you want to be free of this need there are two ways that I know of Releasing the fear behind that need with emotional work Enlightenment/Spiritual work Combine those and you can be free of needing anyone else. You can still enjoy social belonging. But you will be fine without as well.
  14. You don't really need to know a lot about trading bitcoin. You can just buy some if you want to, many platforms exist that make it easy for people to buy them. Now, if you don't trust the platform to keep your bitcoins safe (hackers, fraud) then you need to make your own wallet etc. I think it's not that the economic system will change because of bitcoin rather our economic system might collapse and people will look for alternatives. Which bitcoin would be one of many others.
  15. Highly depends, most of the time when someone says something to you, they are saying it more to themselves. Meaning, they project their inner world onto you. In your case, your brother might be dealing with a feeling of not being good enough for some reason himself. When you can figure that out you can either ignore him, help him or tell him to get lost. Also look at your own behaviour, maybe you have triggered something in him that hurt him? Which then led him to lash out at you. On the other hand, if you feel hurt by someones actions your are giving power to them. In the sense that they have the power to make you feel hurt. Do you want to give away your power? Furthermore, for relationships or family, it's often the case that we are not so much concerned with the message or details. Instead, we are disappointed with the other person because they failed to fulfill our expectations. If you feel like that's the case you should investigate what it was exactly that you hoped for. And maybe it is time to make an adjustment to your expectations and accept the other person for who they are, letting go of the desire to change them. Also be respectful to yourself, if someone makes you feel bad - you are free to walk away from them. The people we surround ourselves with, shape our lives and reality in crucial and deep ways and it's very hard to counteract that impact on your own. ❤️
  16. What do you mean by this? You said its stuck in your sacral chakra. Ok, Im interested in the practical effect it has on you. Maybe you can give an example. What's the effect on your sleep?
  17. No, I've not been shadow possessed. Pay attention to your thoughts. You are love. Everything you do is love and when you are shadow possessed, that's also love. What I do have are suppressed feelings, stuck somewhere deep inside of me. Wanting to express themselves. Wanting to be accepted and made space for. I've worked on that by releasing these feelings. Like I said in your last thread, impatience/low tolerance can be a good thing. While there might not be a need to get all upset and angry when your needs are not met. There is even less a need for tolerating other people's bullshit and sucking it all up, letting the anger build inside you. So, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Allow yourself to be irritated, impatient or angry. The pendulum will swing back and you will come to your center. Naturally. ❤️
  18. As others said, it can have many aspects. Do you feel weird about what other people might think about you? Stop that. You can do some exercises and see that other people are the same. They are just in their head and think about what other people think about them. In reality nobody gives a fuck. Do you feel triggered emotionally because your needs are not met? Time to release those feelings and needs. For example you can use the sedona method or many other techniques for releasing. Do you feel uncomfortable or tense in your body? Watch this video or try some lsd. Do you feel like you are in a low conscious state outside? Practice meditation, for example gratitude meditation outside. Do you feel antisocial? Work on your social skills.
  19. It's your choice. I'm not going to comment on it because it seems you are pretty clear on this one. You seem to be interested to understand why people find it odd. So here is my attempt to explain the men's perspective. Many man will be very frustrated with your decision. Because sex is so important for them. If they tell you they find it odd you don't want to have sex before marriage, they tell you that because they don't like your decision. And that is their way of telling it to you. Now it's really difficult for a woman to understand the men's perspective, so let's try a little example. I'm not saying it's a comparible example but maybe it helps you to feel into this. Let's just assume that woman want emotional intimacy with a man. Now picture a man who only wants to talk about his feelings after marriage. Before that, he will talk about his day, listen and explains things. But he will never say a word about how he feels. (You could add further that he would never ask her about her feelings as well). See how some woman would react to this guy? Of course there are also man who don't find sex as important or who want to wait until marriage. ❤️
  20. @BjarkeT Very well then. I don't see a problem. You are doing everything you can for your passion and to achieve your milestones. Tell me why shouldn't you be on the internet at night? Do you not get enough sleep?
  21. I think it's not that the internet is too tempting. While yes, sure it is very tempting. If we have something to work on the next day that we are passionate about and already worked hard that day we just don't have time to waste with anything else. What do you want to achieve or do in your life that is worth it to sacrifice internet time for you? If you can't answer this question it's obvious that your life will be filled with browsing the internet and watching videos all night long.
  22. You can not change other people. They can only do so themselves. I think its obvious that you want to help them and have their best interest in mind. That is enough. Focus on your people-pleasing habit and work on that guilt you feel for not helping them. That is your next step and will be crucial to develop your potential. When you use more breaks and paragraphs in your text it's better to read ❤️
  23. Look closer. What is the underlying fear of shame. What do you think are the needs behind it?
  24. Without knowing your specific situation. In general when you are less agreeable and more harsh, inside you are loving towards yourself and have low tolerance for anything that is going against your way. Ask yourself why you are that way and be compassionate towards yourself. Being loving towards yourself and giving yourself what you need in the moment is a very valuable skill. What can be tricky is when what you want doesn't align with reality. You can not fight against reality, so make sure that your way includes the acceptance of what is.
